Biologist turned programmer. I like writing code and words. Current focus: Bittensor @SN65_TPN, @taofuxyz.
I'm torn about whether I should pour money into SO2 balloons. Also curious what's stopping a Musk, Besos, or even a @BasedBeffJezos from raising some money and saying "lfg, try to stop me".
Global warming is accelerating There's only one thing we can do today to delay it before we burn, enough to solve the pbm: SO2 injection Some ppl are squeamish about it but they shouldn't be. SO2 is so obviously the right solution that we should do it now. Here's why:

I wish I could drill this quote into all my fellow European's heads: **successful climate policy is really about innovating green energy to become so cheap that everyone can afford to switch** Incentives > morals
The vast majority of future emissions come from China, India, Africa, and other non-rich countries The West obsesses about cutting its own CO₂ But a successful climate policy is really about innovating green energy to become so cheap that everyone can afford to switch Data:…
Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.

Google: releases Gemini to conquer the world. Also Google: assistant no longer understands "and", also randomly turns of all devices in your house when asked to turn on the air conditioning. The f*ck.
Life achievement unlocked: I'm speaking at @EthCC this year! I'll be talking about the @OnionDAO on-chain self-administering endowment fund that incentivised @torproject exit node operators, which was funded by @OctantApp funding. Look forward to see you all in Cannes!
Every other company: "We don't test our models, and when we do, we don't tell you the results." Anthropic: "Ok we tested Claude extensively and found these concerning behaviors, here's a comprehensive report on the issues." The entire internet: "WOW ANTHROPIC IS EVIL"
.@intangiblecoins has already discussed this NYT op-ed well, but my 2c. the author makes elementary mistakes about the dollar system and stablecoins. > [crypto] carries enormous risk for financial stability across the world. For starters, we can look at the words of crypto…
Hey @OpenAIDevs would you pretty please stop blocking rooted Android users? There is no security benefit (after all ChatGPT in the browser works just fine) and blocks enthusiast users with rooted phones.
For most of human existence, we had only 100 watts per person - enough food to fuel metabolism. Fire and animal labor expanded our power supply to a few hundred watts per person. Today, the average American has ~10,000 W at their disposal - a 100x increase. A 100x increase in…
As we progress along the Kardashev Scale, energy harnessed on Earth will increase a hundredfold and will mostly be solar aka fusion aka starlight. Then energy harnessed will increase perhaps a billionfold if we make it to Kardashev II, with space solar power, and another…

Apple was asked by the judge to give up almost nothing in the first round of this lawsuit. They refused. Now they have to give up everything. Epic win by @TimSweeneyEpic and @MarkRein. Justice prevails in the end. Incredible day for app developers everywhere 🪩
NOTE: Using OpenAi Operator at your bank in EU is illegal by law! Web access for assistants was banned years ago as part of “Open banking” Here is the story of why: 15 years ago I stumbled into Sofort in Germany. A company with the idea to build a digital assistant that would…
Hey @RevolutApp will you please stop blocking rooted phones? If you can work in a browser (per definition 'rooted') then you can work on a phone. It's security theatre and painful for power users.
Voor diegene die denken dat eurobonds een goed idee zijn. Bedenk dat landen zoals Frankrijk zich nog nooit aan hun budgetbeloften hebben gehouden. (Maar dit keer is het anders ...... yeah right).
